What are the pros and cons of reclamation?

Chemistry
1 answer:
zzz [600]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Advantages: More land has been made available for development. More buildings and infrastructure can be built, and also for other reasons.

Disadvantages: Much greenery has been removed in order for the land needed. Land reclamation can be damaging to corals and marine life. Corals are usually moved to another place when land is to be reclaimed. The corals might not be able to survive in that certain habitat, and thus die out. In some countries, where the project is large-scale, they do not even bother to re-plant the corals elsewhere, instead just reclaim the land on their habitat, causing them to die out immediately. Marine life, such as fishes, might not have enough food after the underwater plantations are destroyed due to reclamation of land. This applies to the food chain. The waters might also be polluted from the soil used to reclaim land, causing the fishes to die and blocking out sunlight, depriving the underwater plants of growth. Marine habitats are also destroyed, as mentioned earlier; therefore, the marine creatures would be forced to move to another new habitat. Some might not be able to adapt, and thus die out. Some would just die without even finding a new habitat, as they cannot move long distances in water. Of course, the reasons and examples look tempting to us humans, but marine life is life too! We should try to protect is as much as possible, instead of just focusing on the advantages.

Describe the buffer capacity of the acetic acid buffer solution in relation to the addition of both concentrated and dilute acid
AysviL [449]

Answer:

The answer is in the explanation

Explanation:

Acetic acid, CH₃COOH, is a weak acid that will produce a buffer when its conjugate base, CH₃COO⁻, acetate ion, is added to the solution.

<em>That is because a buffer is the mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base or vice versa.</em>

When an acid (HX) is added to the solution, the acetate ion will react producing acetic acid, thus:

CH₃COO⁻ + HX → CH₃COOH + X⁻

For this reason, the pH doesn't change abruptly because H⁺ ions are not produced.

Now, if a  base (BOH) is added to the buffer, CH₃COOH will react producing acetate ion and water, thus:

CH₃COOH + BOH → CH₃COO⁻ + H₂O + B⁺.

In the same way, there are not produced free OH⁻ and the pH doesn't change significantly.
